BERLIN: Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner is without a club after VfL Wolfsburg announced on Monday they have cancelled his contract with a year still left to run.
The 28-year-old joined Wolfsburg on a free transfer from Arsenal in 2014 on a three-year deal.
But he has scored just nine goals in 47 games and his relationship with Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking has deteriorated over the course of the season.
“When he first arrived, both Nicklas and us here had promised a lot of commitment at VfL Wolfsburg,” said Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs.
“After two years, we unfortunately have to see that these expectations have been met neither by him nor by us, and to continue working together would have made no sense for anyone.
“Therefore, the decision to end this deal is the best solution for everyone.”
According to reports, all that is left to sort out is the amount of compensation Bendtner will be paid, which looks to be up to two million euros.
